A number of logboats, including one that is 4,500 years old, have been discovered in Lough Corrib Co Galway.

In what is being described as a " major archaeological discovery", several weapons from the Viking era were also found in the area.

The artefacts were identified following a series of dive surveys by the underwater unit from the National Monuments Service.
